IMPORTANT NOTE
*******************
PLEASE REPORT A CRIME WHEN YOU SEE ONE- Dorset Police cannot help if they don't know about it





AskNED- no longer a seperate function

AskNED was our Non-Emergency Directory. It was a list of questions that members of the public regularly asked with contact details of those inside and outside of policing that could help. The majority of the most commonly used AskNED search functionality has been integrated into the Dorset Police website search and forms function.
This has been done to improve the users experience on their website and ensure they are delivering communities the most up to date experience possible.
